In episode 95 of the Redefining Midlife Podcast, I'm revisiting a compelling conversation with neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay.The menopause transition can give a smorgasbord of brain-based symptoms that, for some women, can be debilitating. On the podcast today, we're going to find out exactly what's going on with our brain during this time with Australian-based, Kiwi-born, neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay. Sarah is the director of The Neuroscience Academy, which offers professional development training in applied neuroscience and brain health. The best thing is that she makes it easy to understand and considers recent scientific developments. In this powerful and insightful discussion, I chat with her about: Gender equality and how medical sciences are adjusting, as well as the impact and change that this has on research and questions currently being explored within neuroscience. Pregnancy and motherhood through the lens of neuroscience and positive upsides that carry through to midlife. HRT culture, past and present. Hindsight and a better understanding of past research, alongside how it can assist women currently going through symptoms in midlife. How the brain adapts as we settle into midlife and the physiological changes we experience in our bodies. Influences of melatonin, adrenaline, oestrogen and progesterone in the neuroscience realm. The importance of sleep. How much does it impact so many cognitive functions and brain abilities, especially in midlife? Genetics and breaking the cycle by investing in your health and well-being. Whether you're in your forties, fifties, or beyond, this podcast episode serves as a potent reminder that midlife is a fabulous stage brimming with potential and opportunity. I encourage you to learn more about her work through her books The Women's Brain Book — The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness and Baby Brain — the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better). You can also visit Sarah on her website and Instagram to find out more.

The neuroscience of motherhood. Have you ever suffered from a baby's brain or questioned how your brain has changed since becoming a mother? If the answer is yes, it's time to meet Dr Sarah McKay. Sarah is a globally acclaimed neuroscientist and the author of The Women's Brain Book—The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and Baby Brain—the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better). In this thought-provoking conversation, Sarah shifts the deficit perspective we so often hear about how women's brains turn to mush after giving birth to how our brains actually become meaner, leaner and more efficient.

In this episode I speak with neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay about her latest book: Baby Brain - The surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better). This conversation aims to debunk some of the myths about ‘baby brain' that exist in our culture, and we discuss the discrepancies between what the research says about the maternal brain and our memory, with what mothers say about their memory and experience of ‘baby brain'. We talk about societal expectations and patriarchal influences on motherhood alongside the cognitive changes that occur for women when they become mothers, and this intersection between the ‘social' and the ‘physiological'. The episode explores how pregnancy primes the brain for motherhood, the impact of thoughts on biological processes, the significance of brain-to-brain synchrony in mother-child interactions, and how motherhood contributes to resilience in the maternal brain. You'll learn about the fascinating phenomenon of foetal cell transfer and its potential benefits for women who have experienced miscarriage. Dr. Sarah simplifies complex brain science and sheds light on the profound connection between baby brain, pregnancy, and motherhood.

Flathead syndrome: We unravel the mystery behind plagiocephaly, a condition that causes a baby's head to appear unusually flat. We discuss the symptoms, causes, and different types of plagiocephaly: positional and craniosynostosis. Katie & Afif assure us that this condition doesn't put pressure on the baby's brain nor affect their development and also share practical advice on proactive measures like "tummy time" and changing the baby's sleep position.We then have an interview with Dr Niamh Lynch, Paediatric Neurologist where we tackle the often unspoken challenges of bonding with a baby, supporting your partner during this crucial period, and the anxiety experienced in the postpartum period. We delve into the power of communication, seeking help when necessary, and the benefits of nurturing a strong support network. Wrapping up this enlightening conversation, we take a look at the impact of social media on sharing healthcare information and the need for a balanced approach. Join us for this deep dive into the world of parenthood and beyond.

Scientists who study the mind and brain have always been drawn to periods of intense change—to those life stages marked by rapid transformation. Infancy is one of those periods, of course. Adolescence is another. But there's a less-discussed time of life when our brains and minds have to reconfigure: the window surrounding when we become parents.  My guests today are Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Winnie is a cognitive neuroscientist and postdoctoral scholar at the Yale Child Study Center. Jodi is a neuroscientist, author, and podcaster affiliated with the University of Rennes in France. Both are experts in the neural and cognitive changes that surround pregnancy, motherhood, and parenthood more generally.  Here, we talk about the idea of "matrescence" as a distinctive developmental stage. We discuss the research around memory loss in early motherhood, as well as findings that certain brain areas get fine-tuned during this period. We talk about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis, and what may be causing them. We consider the finding that having children—and, in fact, having more children—seems to confer a protective effect on the aging brain. Throughout we talk about which of these changes also occur in fathers and other non-birthing parents. And we consider the difficulty of scientifically studying a period of life—parenthood—that is not only rife with social and psychological changes, but also fraught with expectations and narratives. Alright friends, I hope you enjoy this one. As you'll hear, this research area is very much still in its infancy. There are definitely some provocative findings. But maybe more exciting are all the questions that remain. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 2:45 – For more on the relationship between adolescence and “matrescence,” see this recent review paper by Winnie and colleagues in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 6:00 – For discussions surrounding the idea of “mommy brain,” see Jodi's podcast, ‘Mommy Brain Revisited.' See also this recent editorial by Jodi and colleagues in JAMA Neurology.  17:00 – A recent meta-analysis on cognitive impairment during pregnancy.  25:00 – A study by Winnie and colleagues showing subjective—but not objective—memory deficits in mothers one year after giving birth.   26:45 – An influential study showing structural changes in the brain following pregnancy. The same study also found that some of these changes correlated with measures of maternal attachment. 28:00 – A recent review article by Jodi and colleagues on the idea of neural fine-tuning in early motherhood.   41:45 – A recent review paper by Jodi and colleagues about the neural underpinnings of postpartum depression and anxiety.  44:00 – A review paper about postpartum psychosis.  51:00 – A study on the prevalence of postpartum depression across cultures.  58:00 – A 2014 review of research on mother-child synchrony. 1:00:00 – A recent study by Winnie and colleagues looking at how having children affects later life brain function. Another study by Winnie and colleagues on the same topic.  1:13:00 – Several studies have documented general changes in “Big 5” personality factors as people age. A study examining this in both American and Japanese participants is here. 1:18:00 – Since we recorded this interview, the publication date for the English version of Jodi's book has been scheduled. It comes out in September 2023—more info here.   Recommendations  Dr. Orchard recommends: Baby Brain, Sarah McKay Mother Brain, Chelsea Conaboy   Dr. Pawluski recommends: Matrescence, by Lucy Jones After the Storm, by Emma Jane Unsworth   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.

#350: Do you ever look at your baby and think, “I wonder what is going on inside of your brain right now?” Well my guest today knows a LOT about baby's brains…and in particular how the maternal diet and infant weaning diet affects baby's brain development.  His name is Dr. Tommy Wood and he is a neonatal neuroscientist who specializes in preterm infants and studies their brain development. In this interview we chat about some of the different nutrients you've probably heard of, things like iron and vitamin D and EPA and DHA and the role they play in your baby's still developing brain.  One thing I learned from this interview is that humans are the only primates who have FAT INFANTS and the role that iron has in brain development as it pertains to the white matter in our brains…I think Dr. Wood has such a wonderful way of synthesizing his very meticulous research into actionable steps that you can use as you're selecting the foods that you choose - or choose not - to include in your baby's weaning diet. I hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Tommy Wood talking about Baby Brain Health and how the weaning diet impacts your baby's brain.

Around 85% of women will become a mother and most agree that pregnancy and parenthood are experiences that profoundly change us physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. Sadly though, mothers, minds and brains are mostly absent from popular pregnancy books and social media posts unless of course there is a discussion about what can go terribly wrong: baby blues, postnatal depression and of course the dreaded baby brain. Today, Dr. Sarah joins Cass to chat about the upside of pregnancy and parenting on your brain. And research is very clear... Having a baby improves a mother's memory. It makes her smarter, more empathetic, intuitive, and socially savvy.  Dr. Sarah McKay is an Oxford University educated neuroscientist. She is one of Australia's most well-known brain science commentators and authors. She wrote The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and recently she has turned her attention to baby brain. Her latest book is called Baby Brain, the Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds for the Better. In this episode we explore: the amazing neurological shifts that happen when we care for babies how mental load and emotional labor of motherhood can impact attention and memory abilities the importance of considering women's health in medical research and the surge of interest in the neurobiology of pregnancy and menopause.  You can get yourself a copy of Dr Sarah McKay's books here.

The menopause transition can give a smorgasbord of brain-based symptoms that, for some women, can be debilitating. On the podcast today we're going to find out exactly what's going on with our brain during this time with Australian-based, Kiwi born, neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay. Sarah is the director of The Neuroscience Academy, which offers professional development training in applied neuroscience and brain health. The best thing, she makes it easy to understand and considers recent scientific developments in the process. In this powerful and insightful discussion I chat with her about: Gender equality and how medical sciences are adjusting. Plus the impact and change that has on research and questions currently being explored within neuroscience. Pregnancy and motherhood through the lens of neuroscience and positive upsides that carry through to midlife. HRT culture, past and present. Hindsight and better understanding of past research, alongside how it can assist women who are currently going through symptoms in midlife. How the brain adapts as we settle into the midlife phase and the physiological changes we experience in our body. Influences of melatonin, adrenaline, oestrogen and progesterone in the neuroscience realm. The importance of sleep. How much it impacts so many cognitive functions and brain abilities, especially in midlife. Genetics and breaking the cycle by investing in your health and wellbeing. It is clear from this conversation that Sarah is an insight of knowledge and wisdom. I encourage you to find out more about her work through her books The Women's Brain Book — The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness and Baby Brain — the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better).

Dr Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist and science communicator who specialises in translating brain science research into simple, actionable strategies for peak performance, creativity, women's health and wellbeing. Her previous book, The Women's Brain Book: The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, explores the female lifespan through the lens of neurobiology. In this conversation we dive into not only Sarah's interest in neuroscience for women, but the changes and understandings of what happens in the brain when women become mothers. Pregnancy changes our brains but is there such a thing as a mother's instinct and how does a mothers brain change not just in pregnancy and early years but across the lifecycle of her children? Sarah's latest book Baby Brain explores this and more. Known as the person who explains the brain enjoy this fascinating conversation with Dr Sarah McKay.

We're back with another Pop Quiz as Jmike tries to pick Case's brain for one last pre-Baby Brain time!

I am going to preface every episode by saying Baby Brain is real. Having recently given birth I can confirm and agree that now experiencing Baby Brain first hand that it is defined as ….'a state of impaired memory, concentration, or mental agility supposedly experienced by women during pregnancy or after giving birth.  The condition of forgetting things and not being able to think clearly that pregnant women or women who have given birth are often said to experience: Baby Brain makes you feel so silly when you forget the most basic things.'Curtis James Jackson III, known professionally as 50 Cent, is a renowned rapper and entrepreneur who has successfully transitioned from the music industry to becoming a prominent business figure. His journey from a rapper to a multifaceted businessman has been widely acknowledged and serves as an inspiring example of leveraging personal branding, business acumen, and strategic investments for long-term success.One of the people I look up too, admire and respect is 50 Cent. After reading his book ‘Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter' -  I completely understood how he operates in business and his career. I developed a respect for him because of his transparency understanding of his self worth, honesty about his mistakes and how he started life that explain why and where he is now.Notably 50 Cent is the mastermind behind:GhostPowerBook IPowerBook IIBMFRaising KananFor LifeHis creative differences with TV Network Starz saw 50 Cent recognise his worth and unwilling to compromise on his creative direction of his show he reached his walk away point. In this episode I also share an anonymous dilemma/ life lesson regarding financial abuse.Email me: hello@toyatalks.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/
